Training For Information & Communication Technology Workers

Canada is home to world-class information and communication technology (ICT) talent in research and development and in emerging fields such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing and virtual reality. The opportunities are vast, but investments in training are needed to maintain a strong and resilient workforce that can meet the demands of today’s and tomorrow’s ICT sector.

Minister of Labour Seamus O’Regan Jr. announced, on behalf of the Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Disability Inclusion, Carla Qualtrough, that the Government of Canada is investing up to $48.3 million in the digital ICT sector through the Sectoral Workforce Solutions Program.

TechNL will receive up to $27.1 million for its Strengthening the NL Workforce: A Technology Training and Upskilling Ecosystem project, which will strengthen the Newfoundland and Labrador workforce by creating a technology-focused training and upskilling ecosystem and supporting up to 2,131 Canadians.

Because creativity is in our blood.
Because we’re ambitious.
